Honeysuckle
« on: May 25, 2010, 16:08:39 »
Some time ago someone suggested a quick spreading honeysuckle to cover a shed. I can't find the topic and I can't remember the name of it. Can anyone help?

Hi

Lonicera Halliana is a quick spreading honeysuckle if that is any help.  I am not sure which one was mentioned in the thread but this one would fit the bill.  :)  other people may have other suggestions too.

The white/yellow Japanese honeysuckle is invasive here so we're not supposed to grow it.
However, it smells absolutely wonderful especially on a warm evening and far better than the American variety which doesn't have any fragrance. Maybe it would not be invasive for you? It grows by leaps and bounds and looks unkempt compared to clematis. It could easily cover a shed.
